"Through sharing food we make lasting connections and build a truly united city"

We believe that food unites us, breaking down barriers and opening up conversations between and within communities.

We are a small, but dynamic, social enterprise known as 91 Ways to Build a Global City (named after the 91 languages spoken in Bristol).

Since 2015 we’ve collected recipes and food stories from many of Bristol’s language communities and helped to bring together groups who have never come into contact with one another before – running over 100 events in schools, universities, places of worship, with community organisations and even on boats.

Support Us

Our events use the uniting power of food, to bridge the gaps between Bristol’s 91 language communities, in order to build a more united and sustainable city.

We’re working to raise £20,000 to grow our Community Events across Bristol and then the UK.

Jee shared with us her recipe for Green Thai curry; its was only when she came to the UK that Jee learnt to cook. Growing-up in Thailand the street food available is so cheap and varied that everyone tends to eat-out. Jee is now enjoying re-creating dishes that remind of Thailand and her childhood.

We were lucky enough to cook with Shiv at the start of October and to sample his beautiful Aloo Ghobi ( cauliflower & potato curry) and Channa Masala (chickpea curry). He told us about his memories of his mother cooking celebration meals for over 50 of his family members, of which the highlight was fantastic bhatura; a deep fried bread which we got to try ... which is just heavenly!

91 Ways makes a break for the border ! We had a lovely time cooking today with the team from Southern Brooks at the Forever Community centre in Kingswood, South Gloucestershire! Jee made a beautiful, fragrant Green Thai curry and Shiv made us a Aloo Gobi, Channa masala and a very special bread called bhatura that is a family favourite for feast times and holidays in Northern India. We can't forget the amazing apple scones made by Caroline From Southern Brooks .. supported by the very capable Rev. Beverly Charles !
